I need to find the diameter of the housing around the high-beam of a NB8B headlight. (The red ring on the RIGHT in the diagram below):

Ouch... low blow mate 8)

I'm just wondering whether anyone knows the diameter so that I don't have to open mine to find out...

Will eventually do the 'smoked' headlight mod but then again... not sure about how it'll look on a black mx5.

It looks good. Just keep it subtle.

At least i didnt suggest you get smoked out fuel gauges. Yes gauges.

Haha

the high beam pocket does not have a diameter because it is not a circle.
